Graham Threatens Sanctions on Canada, UK, Germany, France for Assisting ICC Against Netanyahu

Nov 23, 2024, 01:41 PM

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has threatened to impose severe economic sanctions on allies such as Canada, Britain, Germany, and France if they assist the International Criminal Court (ICC) in enforcing arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC issued these warrants in response to allegations of war crimes. Graham's stance is part of a broader legislative effort to penalize nations that cooperate with the ICC, reflecting a significant tension between U.S. foreign policy and international judicial bodies.
